The Berkshire School Multivariable Calculus class traveled all the way to New York City to visit the only mathematics museum in the United States -- MoMath.

George Blinick, Jimmy Chung, Michelle Jung, Nguyen Nguyen, Christine Qi, Cyrus Rothwell-Ferraris, and Catherine Xu explored the two floors of the museum which is entirely dedicated to mathematics.

Mathematics illuminates the patterns that abound in our world. The National Museum of Mathematics strives to enhance public understanding and perception of mathematics. Its dynamic exhibits and programs stimulate inquiry, spark curiosity, and reveal the wonders of mathematics. The museum’s activities lead a broad and diverse audience to understand the evolving, creative, human, and aesthetic nature of mathematics.

The students explored the fractal exhibits and also had a lot of fun with the puzzles and photo distortion exhibit. The Math Square was also a big hit.

Berkshire School is a co-ed, New England college preparatory boarding and day school offering a rigorous academic course of study. Our campus, located in Massachusetts, has state-of-the-art academic, artistic and athletic facilities on a stunning 400-acre campus in the Berkshires.
